miles.
Mikolas is on the mound for the
ST louis.
Cardinals don't look at the
record of five and five but look
at the E.R.A. And then you start
going into these games at which
he's pitched.
Not a lot of run support matched
up with some of the top starters
in the league.
It's been a good season thus far
for miles.
Get him the outside corner and a
strike out pinpoint command at
times this season from Mikolas
two outs two away here in the
top of the first, there's
contreras now and that's a fair
ball down the line.

he will stop at third.

doubles here in the last week or
so, certainly on the road trip
and he's up to 19 Brendan
Donovan, the batter potentially
pivotal at bat with 2nd and 3rd
, 2 down, no score.
Donovan breaks his bat little
flair that will get down, two
runs will score.
It's a to ST louis lead on a
single off the bat of Brendan
Donovan already in the first,
the Cardinals have done
something, they could not do all
last night.
That score popped up on the
infield and the catch is made
swing and a miss and strikeout

couple of really nice curveballs
in a row.
He dropped the second one in for
a strike that one just under the
zone.

Sac fly by rivas, cubs around
the board, it's 21 Were in the
top of the 6th, strikeout,

and a miss back to back case to
start the sixth inning.
And that's eight strikeouts for
Mikolas eight strikeouts against
the cubs today is most in a game
against the cubs.
The previous high was six.
That was quite the battle right
there, ends up finishing him off
with a good curve ball, slow
breaking ball and he struck him
out.
That's nine for Mikolas through
six innings, base hit into
center and two hit day for the

prior to that one, he got him to
swing through a curveball, he
went back to the knuckle curve,
it's down, it's under the zone,
but he had just seen one dropped
ahead on it right down the right
field line and he delivers a
bouncing ball right side that's
going to be a base hit, moral is
single.
Let's see if that opens the door
to a rally one out single for
moral.
Nice piece of hitting 31 ST
louis eighth inning one away
here is Ortega he's got the
power to tie the game with one
swing in the air right field if
it's fair it's trouble and home
run and we are tied.
Rafael Ortega hammered two or
three foul down the line and
eventually got one he kept there
and hit it out, talked about
Ortega the work he's done
against right handed pitching.
This is huge top of the 8th
single And the to one pitch,
